C. GATEWAY ENTRANCES These streets serve as entry ways into the Village Center from Oakland Park Boulevard. They include a median with large palms and are mostly fronted by single-family residential. On NW 68th Avenue, there is a brick-like structure with columns serving as a physical gateway into the neighborhood. There are many opportunities throughout the area to continue a similar theme of other brick-like architectural features that build upon the character of east Sunrise and serve as amenities to pedestrians and bicyclists. These streets have limited traffic calming features, little wayfinding signage, and inconsistent lighting.
